Title: Alarm system with a plurality of interactive alarm units
Inventor: O'CONNOR TIMOTHY A
IPC: G08B25/10
Filed: 2006-12-05
Abstract: An alarm system is formed of a network of alarm units that interact with each other to form a neighborhood watch type of alarm network. Each alarm unit transmits its own alarm condition and separately transmits its own user data to other alarm units in the network and in turn receives data from other alarm units in the network representative of their user data and alarm condition. Preferably, the data is transmitted through modulated radio frequency signals. The units in the network rebroadcast their data to maintain the database in each unit up to date. Units may be automatically added and removed without assistance from other users.

Abstract: With oil reaching new price record, it is becoming very important to come up with innovative ideas to conserve energy. Thermal energy cost twice as much as the electrical energy in multi-unit residential buildings and condominiums.    The idea of renewable energy is becoming very popular in the construction business; whether the envelope more efficient :(better walls and roof insulation, more efficient or by fresh air heat recovery through an air exchanger. Boilers are becoming more efficient and energy efficient lights are becoming more popular everyday.     However, during the hours of the morning and the  evenings. where multiple showers, baths or dishwashers are at peak, tremendous, amounts of hot water are going down, the drains wasted in the city sewage system.     The new GWHR "Grey Water Heat Recovery" will trap the previously wasted water in an insulated tank for a period of time to allow the grey water to exchange heat with the cold water before it leaves the tank and heads to the boiler.     This procedure will raise the temperature of the cold water entering the boiler, and extract some of the wasted hot water before the grey water leaves to the city sewage system.

Title: Method and system for estimating insurance loss reserves and confidence intervals using insurance policy and claim level detail predictive modeling
Inventor: LOMMELE JAN
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2005-09-09
Abstract: A computerized system and method for estimating insurance loss reserves and confidence intervals using insurance policy and claim level detail predictive modeling. Predictive models are applied to historical loss, premium and other insurer data, as well as external data, at the level of policy detail to predict ultimate losses and allocated loss adjustment expenses for a group of policies. From the aggregate of such ultimate losses, paid losses to date are subtracted to derive an estimate of loss reserves. Dynamic changes in a group of policies can be detected enabling evaluation of their impact on loss reserves. In addition, confidence intervals around the estimates can be estimated by sampling the policy-by-policy estimates of ultimate losses.

Patent CA-2596534-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VALKEAPAEAE AKI
IPC: F24F9/00
Filed: 2007-08-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and air curtain for re-stricting heat transmission through a wall opening (120).  Using the method according to the invention, an air curtain restricting heat transmission will be formed in front of the door opening. In the method on the first edge of the open-ing a blowing air flow going through a blow nozzle (12) is formed using a blower (20), and on the other edge of the opening a sucking air flow going through the suction open-ing (16) is formed. Advantageously the blowing air flow is formed at the lower edge of the opening and the sucking air flow at the upper edge of the opening. In this way, an air jet (40) will form in front of the door opening going from the blowing nozzle to the suction opening, and induced flows (42, 44) of air will form on both sides of the air jet, together forming an air curtain. The flowing of air through the door opening between the air jet and the vertical edges of the opening is reduced by side wallings (32). In the invention the induced air flow formed adjacent to the air jet is reversed back to the direction it came from in or-der to form a back flow (46) using an air deflector (30) placed on the other edge of the opening. The induced air flow and back flow form a circulating air flow alongside the air jet, with the temperature of the air mass being higher than the outside temperature. Because of the reduced temperature difference, the amount of heat moving through the opening is also reduced. Operation of the air curtain is controlled by an automatic control device (26).

Abstract: A continuous internal combustion engine , which has a combustion chamber , a fuel system that delivers a fuel-air mixture to the chamber and ignites the mixture, and a drum with plates that closes the combustion chamber, converting the energy in the expanding combustion gases into rotary motion before discarding the gases . The drum has an outer cylindrical surface centred about its rotational axis, and lengthwise slots are provided in the outer cylindrical surface. Plates extend through the slots, and are displaced radially between retracted and extended positions. The combustion chamber has lower and upper lips, which define circumferentially spaced-apart boundaries of the gate, along with the end plates on each side. The lower lip is in close proximity to the outermost cylinder of the drum, while the upper lip is spaced from the outermost cylinder of the drum, to define there between a discharge passage, gate, along with the end plates on each side. Also the plate is in close proximity to the edges of the slot in the drum. So friction exist just in sliders and bearings where exist pressure oil lubrication. A mechanical linkage, cam, solenoids, oil or air cylinders may be used to displace the plates radially, so that each plate are retracted to flush, with the outermost cylinder of the drum, when adjacent to the lower lip, and extends into close proximity to the upper lip, during passage through the discharge passage, gate, closing the passage, along with the end plates each side, for a period of time sufficient to allow a succeeding plate to extend into radially close proximity to the upper lip and close the passage.
